..He's 66, has been doing Pilates for about a year, and has gotten great results. Now he concludes that to get better results, he neds to do more reps and do them faster. I've been trying to explain that this is not efficient (he's an engineer, for god's sake, he should understand that!) I do fewer reps and more slowly, and just try to pay really close attention to the movements I'm making. But I can't really articulate to him why that's both easier AND more effective. It seems to run contrary to his Scandinavian-American "if it doesn't hurt you're not doing it right" mentality. How can I get him to see that Pilates is not calisthenics??

Anyone ever had one??

Do you live in "fear" or do you think about it happening again??

I had a pap done, and I was told the endocervical component was absent. i didnt really understand the doctor when he explained it since he had a thick accent. Thanks.

I have had constant vaginal discharge for the past 2 years. I have been to my gynocologist and I keep getting a diagnosis of yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. I can't be sexual because I haven't had sex since Feburary..it still hasn't cleared up with medication. I even went for a sonogram to check my liver to see if maybe it was something with the kidneys..Nothing. Recently it has started to itch and become red. I am tired of alway have to insert medication into me every night and wearing a panty liner. Does anyone have any clue..btw discharge ranges from white and thick to stringy light brown to light blood discharge.. and all of my STD test have came back negative

I sleep on a firmer bed, but have been waking up with a sore back. I also wake up about 2 or 3 times overnight. It also doesn't help that I work in a job where I use my back a lot. Should I be sleeping on a softer bed? Do you think it could be as simple as buying one of those foam covers? Would it help keep my back from hurting? HELP!

The kicker for me was looking at a recent picture, and also a lack of energy. Also, I would like to have children within the next couple of years, and I don't want to pass on this problem. It wouldn't be fair to them. I can generally keep up a successful weight loss regimen for about 4 weeks, but then I falter. How do you keep it up?

For about 2 months I've been having discharge.
Description: It is thick, white, looks like cottege cheese, and has a foul scent.

It is really depressing i am scared to have sex with my boyfriend, and it is putting a strain on our relationship. I have done two abortions in the past two years and i was told that i should take a pap test after i did my last abortion but i didnt. I am really depressed. I have seen articles about bacterial vaginosis and cervical cancer. I currently have no money to pay for a doctor. Also i have tried to douche, i have tried the yeast infection package but nothing has worked. Someone help?????????

I'm kinda chubby and I'm trying to lose weight, but I was wondering, does exercise and weight loss help to prevent diabetes? I'm looking for serious answers and I'd love credible links and research if that wouldn't be too much trouble. It just seems so prevalent nowadays, that I want to take the initiative to try and insure that I never get it, but I don't know if there is anything you could do. Will exercise and weightloss work? Thanks. :)

I think I have a tonsil stone stuck in my throat. My left tonsil is enlarged, I constantly taste the smell associated with a tonsil stone in my mouth and I can feel something whenever I swallow. I've had tonsil stones coughed up before but this one seems stuck. It's getting really uncomfortable and disgusting. Can my regular doctor help me or will I need a specialist?

My lifestyle is the same as before and my diet is very healthy.
I have areas especially on my hands, scalp and my mid-section that erupt after intense scratching and raised rashes develop in these areas until eventually the skin becomes very rough and dry until the cycle begins again.



My hairdresser tells me it is a form of psoriasis and I would have
been born with it, but why now at this stage in my life would I suddenly get it?
